The dynamics of sperm cooperation in a competitive environment
H. S. Fisher, L. Giomi, H. E. Hoekstra +1
Sperm cooperation has evolved in a variety of taxa and is often considered a response to sperm competition, yet the benefit of this form of collective movement remains unclear. Her…
Swarming, swirling and stasis in sequestered bristle-bots
L. Giomi, N. Hawley-Weld, L. Mahadevan
The collective ability of organisms to move coherently in space and time is ubiquitous in any group of autonomous agents that can move and sense each other and the environment. Her…
Models for elastic shells with incompatible strains
Marta Lewicka, L. Mahadevan, Mohammad Reza Pakzad
The three-dimensional shapes of thin lamina such as leaves, flowers, feathers, wings etc, are driven by the differential strain induced by the relative growth. The growth takes pla…
Reply to Comment on "Statistical mechanics of developable ribbons"
L. Giomi, L. Mahadevan
Starostin and van der Heijden [arXiv:1111.2029] question the validity of the results reported in our Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 238104 (2010)] regarding the existence of spontan…
Banding, Excitability and Chaos in Active Nematic Suspensions
L. Giomi, L. Mahadevan, B. Chakraborty +1
Motivated by the observation of highly unstable flowing states in suspensions of microtubules and kinesin, we analyze a model of mutually-propelled filaments suspended in a solvent…
Minimal surfaces bounded by elastic lines
L. Giomi, L. Mahadevan
In mathematics, the classical Plateau problem consists of finding the surface of least area that spans a given rigid boundary curve. A physical realization of the problem is obtain…
